Little Girls Tank Top Dress

Found:  Cute ruffle tank top, size women's small...$2 (Goodwill)
Cute T-shirt top, size 4T...$1 (WalMart)
I cut the top off the tank and the bottom off the T-shirt and sewed them together.
It's even cuter than I thought it would be!!
I think my niece Elena will love it!!
What's not to love...glittery buttons and ruffles!
This was all that was left over!
Quite a deal for $3!

    I too found a similar top while thrifting but wasn't wide enough to make a pretty ruflle skirt.

    I had a problem with my linky party code. I thought it was set up as a thumbnail party but it wasn't. It's all fixed now but can you add your link again? I''m so sorry for the inconvenience. :( xoxo

    Wow, this is such a clever idea. I have seen and thought of doing it the opposite way but this is a new way to look at it!

    very cute! I thought you'd used the ruffle fabric that's all the rage, but that's $15/yd. You came out way ahead and with almost no waste!
